Incarceration with rehabilitation through (psycho)therapy and education. If they do have a mental disorder stopping them from being helpful to society regardless then keep them locked up but research them

Not actually a bad idea as long as there's a proven risk of their criminal disposition being genetically passed down
You may want to look up Bastøy and Halden Prison in Norway for what I believe the future of prisons should be

In my opinion, if a human is murdered there's no reason to murder another one. Or effectively murder another one by sentencing to life in prison. I know people will disagree, but forgiveness and rehabilitation is the best option IMO.

In all honesty, you have to look at the fact that long prison sentences (15y<) actually cost a lot for the government that is instituting them. The same goes for rehabilitation efforts. This is probably the only reason why I would condone the death penalty, simply because, if I were convicted of murder, and it was legally obvious that I did it, I would rather die then spend the next 60 years of my life in a prison, then die in one.
That's just a normal prison, high- and maximum security prisons, as well as solitary confinement are some of the most inhumane things in existence. People don't function well without other people.
Though rehabilitation is a good concept, makes sense and the number of people in prisons, as well as crime rates do see a decrease with rehabilitation programs in action, rehabilitation programs open up an even more "revolving door" type criminal justice system, the more relaxed a system there is, the more reason for someone who's been to a prison before to go back than to get a job. This isn't entirely an argument against human morals, but it has to be considered.
tl;dr Replace hopelessly long prison sentences with the death penalty because I'm a cynical idiot.

These aren't reasons to murder murderers. These are reasons to have a 100x better law enforcement system that PREVENTS crime rather than discouraging it.

25-to life. Why would anyone ever think the death penalty is a viable punishment for anything just boggles me... murder for murder doesn't solve anything, that being said i don't wish prison on my worst enemy

what about giving those convicted the choice? honestly, if faced with life with no parole, i would prefer the death penalty.
edit: im sure most people know this, but convicting someone of the death penalty costs more than life incarceration.

somewhat off topic, I watched the movie Felon last night. It was pretty good, but I wonder how twisted some prisons actually are.

Death penalty actually costs a lot, they even say it costs more than prisoning the person for entire life.
